Zelenskyy Congratulates Trump

Monday, 20 January 2025 01:35 PM EST

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday hailed the opportunity to achieve a just peace in Ukraine, which is battling an almost three-year-old Russian invasion, as he congratulated the U.S. leader Donald Trump on his inauguration.

Trump has repeatedly called for a ceasefire and has promised to promptly end the war, although he did not say how.

"President Trump is always decisive, and the peace-through-strength policy he announced provides an opportunity to strengthen American leadership and achieve a long-term and just peace, which is the top priority," Zelenskyy said on X.

Ukraine sees cultivating close ties with the incoming Trump administration as a key goal and has been making overtures to the Republican following his triumph in November's U.S. election.

Zelenskyy said on Monday Ukraine was looking forward to active and "mutually beneficial" cooperation with the Trump administration.

"We are stronger together, and we can provide greater security, stability, and economic growth to the world and our two nations," he added.
